Whether we’re Irish or not, we all feel the need to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. For some of us, it’s a green shirt. Others of us go the whole nine yards. Think: crazy hats, shamrock themed mardi-gras beads, green mustaches, and a few too many green beers. I personally have a killer pair of kelly green heels that I’ll be dusting off next weekend.

If you’re heading out to see a parade or hitting an Irish pub with a group of friends on St. Patty’s weekend, there’s a few party supplies you’ll need to guarantee you and your group have a good time.

#1 Shamrock Flask

Even if the bar you’re going to has drink specials, here’s what’s going to happen: Your group’s going to walk in and someone’s gonna buy the first round. Pretty soon, it’ll be your turn to buy that round. And after a few too many rounds, everyone’s lost count and all you know is you’re having a blast…until the next morning when you find the credit card bill. Woah, those rounds really added up, didn’t they? Save yourself the double headache (hangover + ridiculous bar tab), and bring a flask.

Want to have even more fun? Get everyone in the group to chip in for personalized St. Patty’s Day flasks. Get everyone to come up with an Irish name they’d like to be called on St. Patty’s Day and have their Irish names engraved on their flasks. Every time someone calls them by their real name – instead of their Irish name – that person must either give up some of the contents of their flask or buy a drink for the person who caught them using the wrong name. Trust me, this is fun.

As the saying goes, “There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish and those who wish they were.” March 17th is everybody’s day to be Irish. Sláinte!
